Cannot say something is cyclical when it is continuously going up over the entire time of records we have (temps). I think you are concentrating on snow and my comment was on winter as a whole including temps. I do not believe MU being under 1' is just one to chalk up "no harm, no foul.". But they could score 40" next winter. We do not suddenly live on the sun but the temps this winter went a long way to causing the miniscule snow total.
